They're here! You can now get the Absurbirdies as greeting cards. Another way to look at it: you can get a tiny piece of my art for just $7 (plus shipping). PS: They're also the perfect addition if you're pre-ordering one of the tea towels this week!

When Louise Haigh, now transport secretary, said she'd never cycle in Sheffield because of the hills, Cycling UK took her out to test-ride an e-bike. She loved it. Wonder if this will show in policymaking road.cc/content/news...

I went to a Kelly Barnhill signing.

She said (I'm paraphrasing) that authors write MG books for two audiences The first being the adults who need to be reminded of the children they were. The second is for the children so that they can see &dream of the adults they will become #kidlitchat

Yes, when out. Had dinner out on the weekend, for the first time. That felt risky. But, not always possible in work situations, when I'm probably most at risk. Doing storytime in a daycare, with lots of sniffling kids is tricky. So, I can't mask then. Damn it.

When someone talks about whether you can separate someone from their work, I know the someone they’re talking about is a white man. Marginalized creators (including young women who are that man’s victims) are never allowed to have their work considered apart from their marginalization.

Fair call out - and to be perfectly frank, something I need to be more mindful of myself. Then again, perhaps we all need to avoid dehumanizing slurs, full stop and period - even when directed at people (regardless of religion or ethnicity) who would NOT repay the courtesy.

I'm also for yodelling, morse code, semaphore and even the POWER OF MIME to share your favourite author and their books. Nothing convinces me to try a book more than someone I like telling me to read it. Especially if they look a bit wild-eyed while bellowing READ THIS NOW! (That's the best.)

Last week, one of the team brought in a ginger slice they'd made. TM: I don't know what you don't eat. It's got butter in it. Me: Ginger. But, don't worry, my allergies are weird. This week, they're going to make more ginger slice. I know I said don't worry, but it feels odd.
